Guillem Balague says Antoine Griezmann will not join Liverpool

Griezmann has publicly declared he wants his future to be decided before the World Cup in Russian Federation, with the 27-year-old set for a big summer as part of a talented French side.

Barca's apparent pursuit of Griezmann prompted Atletico to complain to Federation Internationale de Football Association over improper conduct in December, though the Camp Nou side denied their claims.

Neymar left Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain last summer and has been linked with a move to Real in the future.

Griezman has been linked with Barcelona after another splendid season with Atletico, scoring 27 goals in all competitions.

"[Griezmann] has been playing at the top level for many years, fighting for everything".

Second-placed Atletico trail leaders Barca by 12 points in La Liga and while that gap can be cut to nine if they beat Real Sociedad on Thursday, it would take a stunning collapse for the Catalans not to be crowned champions. He leads Atletico's attack, which is fundamental [in showing his quality]. "He will be welcomed".
